What color is your car? Is it PW with silver rims?

If so, I'd say a gunmetal color similar to the 40th color would look great. While the wheels are off the car, I'd get the calipers powder coated too.

I was also planning to paint my caliper to red.

Thinking of doing same thing. Can anyone advise the color code i should use? I remember seeing that the gtr has a gunmetal-type body color, so wonder if that will look good as a rim color.

Anyone?

I bought 2 cans of dupli color graphite . Its basically its gunmetal color. You can get that at O'riley.
